SOLD SHANGHAI MUNICIPAL POLICE COLT 1908 POCKET AUTO VERY RARE

IN 100% CORRECT MULTIPLE REWORKED CONDITION AS THEY ALL ARE, WE HAVE A VERY RARE AND EXTREMELY SOUGHT AFTER 1929 PRODUCTION 1908 COLT POCKET HAMMERLESS THAT WAS SOLD TO AND ISSUED BY THE SHANGHAI MUNICIPAL POLICE. THESE PISTOLS HAVE A LOT OF WELL THOUGHT OUT MODIFICATIONS TO INSURE SAFE FLAWLESS FUNCTION IN THE TOUGH AND DEMANDING ENVIRONMENT THAT THEY WERE USED IN. MODIFICATIONS TO MAKE THEM IDIOT PROOF AND MODIFICATIONS TO INSURE THAT THEY DID NOT JAM IN A FIREFIGHT. THESE INCLUDED A SPRING TO KEEP THE GUN FROM JAMMING, A DEACTIVATED SAFETY A MAG THAT WAS MODIFIED TO INSURE PROPER LOADING, ALSO ALTERED GRIPS AND A LANYARD RING. THESE GUNS SERVED LONG AND HARD AND THEY ALMOST ALL SAW MULTIPLE REOWRKS AND OVERHAULS AND THIS EXAMPLE IS NO EXCEPTION. THE CONDITION OF THIS GUN IS MUCH NICER THAN OTHER ONES THAT I HAVE SEEN AND SOME IN BRUNNER’S BOOK. THIS IS A RARE CHANCE TO OWN A REALLY DECENT EXAMPLE OF THE PISTOL.
